A report to transport body Nestrans said the council has commissioned transport consultants SIAS “to look at four junctions on Anderson Drive and Great Southern Road for potential alteration once the Aberdeen Western Peripheral Route opens.

“This would be with the aim to provide more opportunities for encouraging cycling and walking.

“A report with results of the modelling and a recommendation that detailed design commence for Broomhill and Westburn Road junctions with Anderson Drive, is due to go to communities, housing and infrastructure committee at Aberdeen City Council in January for consideration.”

Nestrans chairman Ramsay Milne said: “We are examining potential proposals to make these areas fit for purpose in light of anticipated traffic flows.

“The preference will be given to traffic coming into the city from the AWPR not Anderson Drive.”
